NOte:

 The gas line connection may be made using 1/" 

rigid  tubing  or  an  approved  flex  connector.  Since  some 

municipalities have additional local codes it is always best 

to consult your local authorities and the current edition of the 

National Fuel Gas Code ANSI.Z3.1, NFPA54. In Canada 

CSA-B149 (1 or ) Installation Code. 
A  listed  manual  shutoff  is  factory  installed  upstream  of 

appliance. Union tee and plugged 1/8" NPT pressure tap-

ping point should be installed upstream of the appliance.

ARNING

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to threads. This will prevent 

excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe 

could result in clogged burner system valves.We recom-

mend  that  you  install  a  sediment  trap/drip  leg  in  supply 

line as shown in 

Figure 12

. Locate sediment trap/drip leg 

where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system 

between fuel supply and burner system. Locate sediment 

trap/drip leg where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A 

sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps 

them  from  going  into  the  burner  system  gas  controls.  If 

sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong, 

burner system may not run properly.
